CS 16-0861 SHARING INSIGHTS From the desk of Ryan Lance, Chairman & CEO ON FEBRUARY 25, 2003, I PARTICIPATED IN THE INAUGURAL SPIRIT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS as a member of the Upstream Integration Team. We were one of 36 teams recognized that year for accomplishments in 2002. Our particular achievement was for detailed planning and execution that resulted in zero upstream interruptions on Day One of the merger between Conoco and Phillips. Looking back over the years since then, I can’t help but be amazed by the incredible depth and scope of excellence these awards have documented. The infographic on the back of this magazine sums it up — more than 6,000 people recognized for their outstanding contributions. These awards and the people who have won them define Conoco Phillips as a company focused on translating its value statement into the highest quality business performance. This issue of spirit Magazine is dedicated to the many teams and individuals who were recognized with SPIRIT Awards this year for their 2015 performance. For almost two years, we’ve been in the midst of a historic downturn that continues to reshape our industry and our company. Such an environment makes the accomplishments of the 2015 SPIRIT Award winners all the more remarkable. To persevere and even thrive in the face of so many challenges takes commitment and dedication to the highest standards of professionalism. Together, we’re managing our way through the downturn and positioning the company to emerge stronger, more resilient and better equipped to succeed. Our goal is to be the best exploration and production company we can be, and with the efforts you’ll learn about in these pages, I’m confident we will get there. EDITOR’S NOTE: Celebrating all 2016 SPIRIT Award winners in a single issue of spirit Magazine required contributions from around the world.

The process begins (bottom left) with layout and proofing to insure accuracy and placement of logo and text. Next the awards are stenciled with a 120-watt laser in a laser cabinet. After stenciling, the award is protectively masked. Finally, a glass etcher (bottom right) sandblasts each award. (Top) Before any SPIRIT Award leaves, it is inspected for complete perfection — the logo and letters are crisp and there are no blemishes in the crystal — before it is packaged in a custom-built gift box for final delivery to the recipient.

PHOTO BY HALL PUCKETT THE BIG PICTURE THE BIG PICTURE Milky Way The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has created the most detailed three-dimensional maps of the universe ever made. This SDSS telescope, located at Apache Point Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, is near Conoco Phillips’ Permian Basin assets in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. The telescope sits on a mountain 9,200 feet above sea level, where the atmosphere contains little water vapor and few pollutants. Because the site is so high and so far from major cities, the night sky is among the darkest in the United States.

They say that, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. And in 2015, Conoco Phillips people once again stepped up to the plate. 2016 This 2016 SPIRIT Awards issue of spirit Mag- azine tells the stories of Conoco Phillips individu- winners als and teams who have, through their actions, exemplified the company’s SPIRIT Values. blaze The individual award recipients selflessly took risks to save lives, committed their hearts and new trails souls to improving their communities and world around them and went the extra step to protect company people and property. Much of this issue focuses on the project teams whose members have gone above and beyond their job requirements and worked together to blaze new trails for the company and for their professions. Some of these teams consist of a few people working together in close proximity. Others consist of professionals around the world connected by a desire to share knowledge and create innovative solutions to issues that impact their business. The outcome? Fit-for-purpose solutions that save time and money by eliminating the need for individual business units to reinvent the wheel. All of these people exemplify the SPIRIT Val- ues that have made the company great: Safety, People, Integrity, Responsibility, Innovation and Teamwork. This commitment to excellence and to helping others will enable the company to weather the current climate of low commodity prices and emerge as a stronger independent E&P company. 10 Conoco Phillips THE COVER STORY SAFETY The team worked more than 420 days and 2.35 million man-hours without a recordable inci- dent.
